they missed the top of the dynamic range of a rock kit. I am baffled that after all of the hoopla, the rooms, the surrounds, Massenburg, 6 new kits etc. The Ayotte sounds real sweet and is great for soft to medium loud playing, as are the others, but it and all of the other SD3 kits are useless for hard hitting stuff. There are some nice sounds in the new kits. 2 racks and 1 floor would be way more flexible.

The bummer there is those kits were sampled with only 1 rack tom and 2 floor toms. I called up my Hit Factory and Allaire kits today and was happy to have a full range of dynamics. If I do stick to using SD3, I will have to go back to a multi out setup.

I tried, but the eq's and compressors don't compete with the 3rd party plugs I have, especially the compressors. Argg!!! Yes you can import settings from another preset, but the bleed settings are not part of the mixer, so it's all pretty useless.Ĥ - I thought the new mixer with the new fx plugs would satisfy me to mix the drums within the plugin. I have spent a lot of time checking them all out and it's a rabbit hole of redundancy and similarities to me. This is beyond disappointing and an oversight that baffles me.Ģ - The sheer number of room and surround mics seems like massive overkill. The highest velocities do not reach the maximum of what a hard hitting drummer would hit in a hard hitting track.

The new UI looks fantastic, but I have found quite a few frustrations and am wondering if I'm not alone.ġ - The new kits all seem to have been sampled with a limited velocity range.
